Despite how innocent the question may have been, Jessica wasn't a trusting type and had never been that way. She was used to darting and avoiding questions, making up lies and stories to get where she wanted, and just generally never being honest. Even when she was Peter, that was how it was so she could hide her identity. Nonetheless, she turned her gaze towards her "roommate", lips moving to a thin line and eyes narrowing ever so slightly.

"Take a nap."

She responded immediately, despite the fact that she wasn't moving. She could feel the quip and sarcasm bubbling back up, even if she wasn't really in the mood for it. It was like second nature, at this point.

"Maybe play a game of cards afterwards. You know, I really need to get some more practice in poker. Tired of losing my underwear all the time."

Her reply didn't have much emotion behind it, and she was immediately moving her gaze away. She could be friendlier because she would be here for the long run, but she didn't want to think that was true. She refused to believe it. So whatever mood she was in, Erika would have to deal with.
